Leeds - Fulham: A low scoring affair

On Saturday, Leeds host Fulham at Elland Road in a game that could prove to be really significant for the automatic promotion race. Leeds reside in 2nd place with 71 points while Fulham occupy 3rd spot with 64 points. I believe this will be quite a restrained and low scoring game, both teams trying to edge out a narrow win without risking too much.
